Infant Pulmonary Function Test Results

Hi. My daughter Emma had an Infant Pulmonary Function Test on Monday. I posted her results in the Family section but no one responded.

Can you look at them and tell me what you think of them?

-------------------------------

The test went fine. They had a little trouble keeping her asleep, but they were able to complete the testing.


The doctor said her numbers look good. I have the results in front of me, but I forget which numbers he said were the ones they are interested in. There are 2 numbers. One is before they gave her albuterol and the other is after. I think these are the ones that he discussed with us: (the first number is pre albuterol and the 2nd number is post albuterol)

FVC, ml 257
257 & 257
% Pred 122%
There was no change after they gave her albuterol

FEV 0.5, ml
220 & 219
% Pred 122%
change after they gave her albuterol -0.5%

FEV 0.5/FVC
0.86 & 0.85
% Pred 100%
change after they gave her albuterol -1.2%

RV, TLC
0.41 & 0.32
% Pred 116%
change after they gave her albuterol -22%


Interpretation:
Normal flows and volumes. Mild air trapping that is significantly improved after albuterol.

In adults - the numbers they look at the most are the FEV1 and the FVC.</end quote></div>

I have the sheet in front of me and there is not a FEV1, just a FEV 0.5, ml.

FVC = 122%
FEV 0.5 = 122%
FEV 0.5/FVC = 100%

Does that help?

I'm not quite sure then - it must be a difference between infants and adults.

Where are they doing the infant PFTs? J does his in the PFT lab on the 4th floor by the peds clinic.

The best people to ask are a) the person in the PFT lab or b) your doc when you're at clinic. (Write down your question now!)

Alternatively, call Karen and Evelyn (I'm assuming they take care of peds too) - they should be able to get you an answer.
